Re: Post-server move issues

The tabs on the top of the site desperately need updating and pruning. Several dead links in the External sites part, and I guess the hosted projects part is a work in progress? Cause if it's not...Mantis is barely used anymore by the SCP, since most of it seems to have transferred to git, yet there is no link to git in there.

Re: Post-server move issues

I've always had my bookmark set to the homepage, and looking at it now gives me a thought: we really need some sort of big prominent blue button to head straight to the forums. Right now the only indication on the page that we even have a forum is buried under the HLP drop-down listing.

The reverse is also true. Perhaps call it the "Landing Pad" or "Hard Light Central" or something, to take you back to the main non-forum page.

I think that will come once the top navbar gets fixed to display on the forums as well.

This still needs happening.

Thanks for the reminder. I'll take a look at this, hopefully in the next day or so, otherwise after Thanksgiving.

Regarding the forum's navbar, I've been trying to schedule a session where Sandwich and I can coordinate, but that depends on both of us being available simultaneously.

Re: Post-server move issues

Right, yeah, that's weird. According to the forum I made that post an hour and a quarter later then I actually did. I can chalk the hour down to timezone related grubbins but not the quarter. It's currently 00:06 here.

Re: Post-server move issues

It looks like Mantis was upgraded with the server move, and new user registration on Mantis was disabled during that process? No one can find a link to sign up for it. If that was intentional, I need to request an account be added by an admin for wookieejedi. If it wasn't intentional, can someone check the value of $g_allow_signup in config_inc.php? I think that's where the setting would be. I am not an admin, only manager level, so I can't manually add users it seems.

-- POSIX is fine, as is Rev or RP. EMail, PM or leaving me an IM on ICQ, even if I'm not showing up as online. is the best way to get ahold of me.

Re: Post-server move issues

It will be back. We have the internal configuration and all the files that were stored on it. The difficult part is rebuilding the site and linking all the files to their proper entries. Chief1983 is working on it when he has time.

Right now we're focusing on just getting the site working. It is likely that we'll need to install the latest version and use the standard theme, but I'm sure members of HLP could recreate the custom theme for us.

Re: Post-server move issues

Hmm I don't know if I need to reinvent the wheel for that- with that I mean most things have already been written in the thousands of posts here in a very useful and easy-to-understand way (for example the getting started board), sometimes over and over again. One could gather them and bring them on the main site (maybe a bit edited). For info on hosted projects (as well as for the wiki), I think the best way would be to ask the project heads to do some advertising for their nice things.
